The board wraps the chip with everything you need, and makes programming as simple as plugging in a USB cable.</p>hunter7193 on DEV-08846 - ATmega168 with Arduino Bootloaderhunter7193urn:uuid:005ec5bc-9dbd-a841-6928-b55fbbe0ec542010-07-05T17:21:08-06:00<p>If you&rsquo;re using this chip as a standalone IC (without an arduino board) you&rsquo;re going to need some more parts, like a resonator (I suggest a ceramic one). I&rsquo;d check out <a href="http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Tutorials/ArduinoBreadboard" rel="nofollow" >http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Tutorials/ArduinoBreadboard</a><br/>
to get an idea about it. Basically, to answer your question, you need a converter to go from your computer to serial communication, then you can use the Arduino IDE to program it.</p>EliTheIceMan on DEV-08846 - ATmega168 with Arduino BootloaderEliTheIceManurn:uuid:c06a484f-3166-41d8-b583-ffedaed1db712010-06-22T19:57:25-06:00<p>You just saved my butt.
